Fix to kill existing window no longer working #42

Closed wcrabtree9 closed 1 year ago

wcrabtree9 commented 1 year ago

After a recent update, the "Desktop — Plasma" window that covers everything is no longer closing. xprop says:

WM_NAME(STRING) = "Desktop @ QRect(0,0 3840x1080) "
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Desktop @ QRect(0,0 3840x1080)  — Plasma"

But neither name in my i3 config file will close the desktop window that covers the screen on log in.

I've changed the i3 config entry from the previous suggested

for_window [title="Desktop — Plasma"] kill; floating enable; border none

to

for_window [title="Desktop @ QRect.*"] kill; floating enable; border none

and the window disappears.

for_window [title="Desktop @ QRect.*"] kill; floating enable; border none

That did it, thank you!

would you be willing to put in a PR for this? I imagine that more people might have the same issue
